spent time and money preparing for this year's admission and everything just crumbled down in a night😵💫 may we all (senior year students) find another way to enjoy the scholarship
I was preparing for this since last year and based my preparation on the 2022 guidelines and forms because I thought they couldn’t be changing so much in such a short notice. A lot in the guidelines and form actually changed (some for good,some for bad) and even some of the programs I was interested in were no longer being offered this year.
the weirdest thing for me was how they didnt even consider people who are actually graduating in feb bc how are we supposed to have time to translate, apostille and mail our diploma to the university within the deadline? it really is unfair :/
@@loubnaaitouchraa4696 don't know bruh.....I have already graduated in July but I just don't have a degree, and guess what I was going to obtain my degree on 26th February now my university changed the date to 6th March, but I sent my documents to my embassy already I also sent one later explaining my situation and the announcement later of University changing the date I hope they consider our request
I was waiting for your comment on this upd College Concierge, and I am glad that you sir support us on this issue, let's see what the future will bring.
Yess it's so unfair for us as i was all prepared with excepted graduation certificate and now according to guidelines i have to wait for whole year to apply
Our university has the same format as other universities in India. Universities can provide the official degree after a year. But I and other GKS aspirants all were preparing for a year and were waiting for the GKS-G scholarship to be released. We invest our time, patience and hard work also money for arranging documents. But this sudden change is breaking the hearts of all provisional or expected degree holders. Please grant us relaxation for this particular year, give us chance to prove ourselves. It will be a great help. Please grant us an opportunity. I believe with your support NIIED will consider us and will grant their acceptance. Have a good night. Thank you!
I believe in many countries, for those in our final year of college, we will only be graduating in May this year. And all of a sudden, with this new change, we cannot apply this year, and will have to wait till 2024. This is so unfair because there was no prior notice.
So if we have marksheets and a transcript but not the final degree, we cannot apply ? My degree will come around next May but i can get transcript and provisional marksheet for now
Hello Sir! I'm a master's Prospective student from India. I saw the guidelines for the GKS-G 2023, and it was quite shocking. I already prepared all the documents in advance and currently I'm in my final semester which will be expected to end by June. Now I feel so disappointed regarding this. At least they would have given prior notice but however earlier I attended one of the Universities Open House meetings where they told us that Korean Visa won't be given to students without the official degree even though we submit our Provisionals. I'm planning to send them mails regarding the issues faced by the students. Thank you for your support, Sir 🙏!
Same. My last semester finishes in June as well. I enquired them about graduation certificate in Dec 2022 . N i got a reply 2 days ago. Saying that they accept only actual degree certificate due to heightened international student immigration policy. Idk.. If they would change this rule. No hope tbh
@@Faraaz1803 i dont know tbh but lets hope for the best. I think they may consider this because its not a single student’s problem. Many of us are facing the same issues.
Anyway so you will be getting your Degree certificate this year itself? Don’t the university in india give their degree certificate 1 year later ? In convocation?
The local embassy told me that it is what it is and if fact the woman who spoke to me was very mean and told me to "read the guidelines" and won't even let me finish my sentence, I was trying to tell her that IN the guidelines (which I read 10000 times) stated that in the first round each embassy/university may add or simplify documentation requirements so I asked if we can apply with provicional certificates then have the time to prepare the final certificates for the NIIED. But she cut me at "in the guidelines it's started that-" and just told me "the guidelines are for you to read not for me", that while they posted the guidelines before NIIED and made a deadline of 2 weeks minus the non working days of the weekend I don't know what to think about all of this it's like they're intentionally trying to minimize applicants. The rude woman wasn't korean btw and didn't direct me to the office related to the application.
I'll be graduating on 26th February but then when am I supposed to send my apostilled documents?????we need atleast 1 week to apostille (28 is deadline)
Exactlyy...I had been preparing for this scholarship for the past 1-1.5 yrs and now when I had got most of my documents made i find that im not even eligible anymore. Had they had told this before i would have invested all this time in preparing for some entrance exam in my country...so disappointed and heartbroken..
I'm exhausted after seeing a guideline, i've almost done everything to be ready for the GKS,... and finally, the result makes me absolutely shock and disappointed with them.
This new GKS guidelines( graduation certificate) is not fair. We prepared for all the documents, apostilled it and all but now suddenly just bcoz of graduation certificate we can't apply. Sir please raise our voice to NIIED to change this. Please help us sir
I sincerely prepared each & every documents and forms and worked on it for a year. I have graduated a year ago but still didn't recieved the degree as we recieve it during the convocation ceremony which will be held within the month. But now I can't apply😞. I really worked hard on it.
I heard there is a possibility to get blacklisted or worse, that our country's quota may get decreased by sending mails/raising voice. What's your opinion on this?
Hello! I hope you are doing well. I have a doubt regarding the format of academic transcript. My school is saying that bring us the format and we will provide you the transcript according to that format but I don't know what is the exact/correct format for the GKS-U transcript. Can you please make a video regarding this topic? I'm sure many students (especially from India) are struggling with this problem. Please help me out.
Already appostille all my documents too including provisional certificate.Uni is not issuing graduate certificate until one year.It's like three years of preparation going in vain. Also have a feeling from next year language proficiency certificate would be mandatory.
Hello sir Yes ! This shocked me too after preparing all my documents and i was ready to apply with my certificate of expected graduation !! Then i was really shocked Now i cannot apply after all the time a spent on preparing
@@sanarise9079 yes they should atleast give the prior notice before 2 years . They gave one prior notice about additional points in topik and English language proficiency test before 3 years and this time also gave a prior noice 2 years before the date then why not about the provisional certificate? In this case they also should gave the notice atleast 2 years before the date.
@@MrCollegeConcierge we make one group for this and we email to NIIED and we also post in twitter and there is so many students join us for support And always thank you sir for help 😊
Hello Sir I also noticed that they cancelled the University track quotas for French students, now I have to catch up for the embassy track application:( The Embassy of the Repliblic of Korea in France also have not yet updated anything regarding the 2023 GKS application, hopefully the application deadline would not be too soon.
Bonne chance ! Personnellement, j'avais prévu de candidater pour l'embassy track dans tous les cas, mais j'attends des nouvelles pour envoyer mon dossier et qu'ils répondent à mes questions concernant le CGPA
hello sir ! it was so shocking to get to know about the eligibility . I literally prepared each and every documents with everything and at last it was so shocking to see it and I was so surprised to see this notification. what can I do more now rather then waiting and applying next year! this was so devastating and unexpected. will definitely contact the universities and the the embassy here. thank you for your help sir and being there for us and helping us out.. who all are ready to contact or have already contacted please tell me here

Hello, I appreciate all your work to inform and guide future applicants of the GKS scholarship. I've found your videos very valuable during my preparation. In one of your reviews of an applicant's paperwork you mentioned that the GKS doesn't allow internships. I cannot find where the guidelines say this, so I was wondering if you could please elaborate. I read we are not allowed to work, but what if the internship is unpaid? A program I am interested in requires an internship as a part of their curriculum. I appreciate your time and I will be sending my paperwork for review in the next couple of weeks for next year's application. Thank you. Best, Alex S
@@MrCollegeConcierge Hi, I appreciate your response. I was worried about being unable to do an internship because internships offer a great opportunity to learn, network, and get hands-on experience. I hope to find an unpaid internship that will count as school credit. Thank you!
Thank you for your advices! I have a question, about form. I'm aplying by Embassy track. What should I put in the major if I'm aplying to 3 programmes and the names of major vary sligthly?
If this happens in 2023 then it will happen also in 2024 if in my university they will graduate as in the month of April or May and my university also not give the proper graduation certificate then gave as the provisional certificate first then the real one what should I do know and I work so hard to make my application better and study 8hr. To score good marks in my semester and know they suddenly changed the information all of a sudden whyyyyyyyyyy ???????????please some one explain my please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello sir I was also preparing for this scholarship from mid 2021 I did few internships n worked with ngos n was ready with all the documents to submit I'm in my last semester n will be graduating this may this is really bad
Hi, thank you for your video. I've got a question, for writing my study plan-language part, for after moving to Korea should I write exact dates? If yes, should I write from 2023 Feb to 2024 Feb? I couldn't find proper date for writing this part.
Even though I mail some universities after the guidelines are out to confirm that either they accept Expected Graduates or not first they said yes we accept them but when I ask them to double check and please clear the confusion they said sorry we can't.... I literally can't understand the behavior of universities also even they are not confirm yet that they accept Provincial Certificates or not.... I don't know what is happening this year...
I have a question that I can never find the answer to. I was diagnosed with ADHD 4 years ago and I am medicated. Before the diagnosis, I was an exchange student in Korea. I have been teaching Korean for about 7 years. So It is a fact that having ADHD has not caused any negative impact in my education and career. I want to pursue a master's degree in Korean language teaching. I just want to learn how being ADHD affects the application process and be prepared for it. Should I mention that I have ADHD when applying for the GKS scholarship?
Could You please help me with a question?🥺 I would like to apply for Undergraduate this year, but in the gidelines (last year) show: "CGPA indicared on your original transcrip", my grade scale is 1 to 10 and just show per subject and by year(ex. Math 7, science 8) I mean, doesnt show just One CGPA for the 3 last years. Can i just sum every grade and put it without ask My school for an additional doc? It can work at that way? (Cuz My school doesnt support me with that😞) Btw, thanks for your info it helps us a lot!!
In Italy, embassy track, they are still applying the old rules for the graduation certificate (I’ve also emailed them). Now I wonder if going forward in the process this is going to be an issue since I’ll graduate in June
Hello Sir, I would be glad if you could tell me what you think of my case or even provide me with any advice. I would be immensely thankful. So, I already have received a scholarship this year (2023), the stipendium hungaricum, and I have studied a year there, and got excellent grades. However, I don't want to pursue my studies there anymore, and I'm thinking to stop and apply for the GKS scholarship. The reason is, I wanted to apply for the GKS for the past three years, but I was hesitating and pessimistic, since only three are selected from my country, I even studied Korean on coursera in 2022, because I wanted to use it to apply for the gks, then I couldn't because of diploma related issues. Now do you think it's going to influence my application negatively, the fact that I want to drop out to apply for the GKS, again, even though I'm having good grades? Many people have told me not to tell about my studies abroad, but I honestly want to be completely honest in my application, and accept whatever decision is made. Can you tell me your thoughts, comments, or any advice on my case? Thanking you very much in advance for your valuable help! Stay in Peace.
Annyeonghaseyo sir. I really enjoy your videos . They are really informative Can you pls anwer this? *Do you have to have a prior knowledge about the major that you are choosing in GKS or can you choose a major that's very new to you?* For an example if I'm doing science subjects (physics, chemistry , biology) in high school rn (grade 12 and 13) , can i choose ICT or software engineering as my major? I've only done ICT from grade 6 to 11. and I have an A in ICT in O/L I'm very new to GKS and I don't know a lot about it. I really appreciate it if someone can answer.
Yes you can. I'm also doing that. The key is to explain why you're choosing that major in your essays and to demonstrate how passionate you are and that you have a plan and a good motive. Good luck!
oh no, i wanted to apply in 2024 graduating by Oct. 2024 (Scholarship Deferall) but it won't be possible I guess. I'll candidate to KAIST directly. Thanks you for your videos
Hello sir I have graduated from university of delhi in may 2022. But I do not have my degree as it will be provided in july or August of 2023( as they always provide official degree an year later). As mentioned in the guidelines provisional certificates are not allowed neither accepted. Could you please tell me what should I do or do i need to apply next year?.
Your videos are super helpful I always look forward to your informative videos. Are you planning to upload new videos? Please upload new videos and guide us about new changes in the guidelines.🙌

I have a question that after passing GKS Korean language is taught for one year in Korea, because study and exam are conducted in Korean language, then why is English important while applying for form, we don't know that you don't know Hindi but why do not use a translator during the interview, because there are many students do not English because their studies and environment are in Hindi but mindset is quite good and they can survive in every situation.....some students study in Hindi till 12th and know a little English but they are the once who get their admission done in BSC which is completely ine English but after working hard the achieve 60-70 % , I think this is a good percentage without knowing the language so I think after learning the Korean language they can easily achieve at least 80% , This question is not only mine but of many students. Please reply me.....
i can't apply this year bc this change i have my ceremony on april so im out until next year i even cry so bad bc many plans for my future go down bc of this change and i can't apply due this is so unnfair and even post the application ''late'' without telling this issue
Also what do you think can we do if we are expected to graduate in may/ I graduated in December last year but only getting my certificate in may of this year. I have a meeting with my campus head office to plead to get it earlier.
Is there really no hope for us sir? It’s really so disheartening like we actually spent our time,money and energy on this only to receive this devastating news. The Indian Korean embassy had also not updated the latest information yet. This is really being unprofessional is from their part

PLEASE HELP!!! I want to choose 2 different majors through embassy track. Master in physical therapy in 2 different universities and Public health policy in rehabilitation science in third university option. The problem is can I merge SOP and PS in a sense that it works for both or I have to write separately?
You can't do that since you're applying to embassy, you need to find a third university that offers physical therapy or a course so similar to it that whatever application you submit makes sense with that course.
Hello sir, thank you for the video. I have a question concerning the application form through embassy track. Do we stick our photos in the form and then make photocopies or stick a photo on each copy?
When i check in Google about degree guideline You can also apply if you expect to graduate by August 31, 2023. In that case, you need first to submit a certificate of expected graduation. If you get the GKS graduate, you must submit the final academic transcript to NIIED before or by August 31, 2023. this is answer what i get what can i do sir can i apply

I sincerely prepared each & every documents and forms and worked on it for a year. I have graduated a year ago but still didn't recieved the degree as we recieve it during the convocation ceremony which will be held within the month. But now I can't apply😞. I really worked hard on it.
경쟁률이 치열하고 규칙까지 다 바뀌었더라고요 ㅠㅠ 1년동안 준비해왔던 학교가 지원 대상 리스트에 없어져서 아쉽고 학교 어디로 가야될지 모르고 고민이 많이 되네요 ㅠㅠㅠ

I heard there is a possibility to get blacklisted or worse, that our country's quota may get decreased by sending mails/raising voice. What's your opinion on this?
Hello! I hope you are doing well. I have a doubt regarding the format of academic transcript. My school is saying that bring us the format and we will provide you the transcript according to that format but I don't know what is the exact/correct format for the GKS-U transcript. Can you please make a video regarding this topic? I'm sure many students (especially from India) are struggling with this problem. Please help me out.
I tried my best, did everything i can for this scholar, hazzz, feel really bad now.
Sorry 😞
Already appostille all my documents too including provisional certificate.Uni is not issuing graduate certificate until one year.It's like three years of preparation going in vain. Also have a feeling from next year language proficiency certificate would be mandatory.
Scary...
Hello sir
Yes ! This shocked me too after preparing all my documents and i was ready to apply with my certificate of expected graduation !! Then i was really shocked
Now i cannot apply after all the time a spent on preparing
Let's make our voices heard!
Yes sir !! From my part, ill send them emails !! Thank you for your support sir 🙏💪
@@sanarise9079 yes they should atleast give the prior notice before 2 years .
They gave one prior notice about additional points in topik and English language proficiency test before 3 years and this time also gave a prior noice 2 years before the date then why not about the provisional certificate? In this case they also should gave the notice atleast 2 years before the date.

Hello Sir
I also noticed that they cancelled the University track quotas for French students, now I have to catch up for the embassy track application:( The Embassy of the Repliblic of Korea in France also have not yet updated anything regarding the 2023 GKS application, hopefully the application deadline would not be too soon.
Bonne chance ! Personnellement, j'avais prévu de candidater pour l'embassy track dans tous les cas, mais j'attends des nouvelles pour envoyer mon dossier et qu'ils répondent à mes questions concernant le CGPA
C'est horrible courage, ils font des économies sûrement ptdr

Hello sir !!!
I have a question about LOR and SOP ... can you tell me how many words are required there in LOR and SOP ?
Hello,
I appreciate all your work to inform and guide future applicants of the GKS scholarship. I've found your videos very valuable during my preparation.
In one of your reviews of an applicant's paperwork you mentioned that the GKS doesn't allow internships. I cannot find where the guidelines say this, so I was wondering if you could please elaborate. I read we are not allowed to work, but what if the internship is unpaid? A program I am interested in requires an internship as a part of their curriculum. I appreciate your time and I will be sending my paperwork for review in the next couple of weeks for next year's application. Thank you.
Best,
Alex S
If the internship is unpaid and is part of the school curriculum, then you can do it.
@@MrCollegeConcierge Hi, I appreciate your response. I was worried about being unable to do an internship because internships offer a great opportunity to learn, network, and get hands-on experience. I hope to find an unpaid internship that will count as school credit. Thank you!
I get my degree in 2024 in july and i decided to apply in 2024 so can you suggest me something
Thank for your hard work ☺️

Thank you for your advices! I have a question, about form. I'm aplying by Embassy track. What should I put in the major if I'm aplying to 3 programmes and the names of major vary sligthly?
Thank you for information
Welcome!

To score good marks in my semester and know they suddenly changed the information all of a sudden whyyyyyyyyyy ???????????please some one explain my please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello sir I was also preparing for this scholarship from mid 2021 I did few internships n worked with ngos n was ready with all the documents to submit I'm in my last semester n will be graduating this may this is really bad
Hi, thank you for your video.
I've got a question, for writing my study plan-language part, for after moving to Korea should I write exact dates? If yes, should I write from 2023 Feb to 2024 Feb? I couldn't find proper date for writing this part.
Even though I mail some universities after the guidelines are out to confirm that either they accept Expected Graduates or not first they said yes we accept them but when I ask them to double check and please clear the confusion they said sorry we can't....
I literally can't understand the behavior of universities also even they are not confirm yet that they accept Provincial Certificates or not....
I don't know what is happening this year...
So unprofessional...
I have a question that I can never find the answer to. I was diagnosed with ADHD 4 years ago and I am medicated. Before the diagnosis, I was an exchange student in Korea. I have been teaching Korean for about 7 years. So It is a fact that having ADHD has not caused any negative impact in my education and career. I want to pursue a master's degree in Korean language teaching.
I just want to learn how being ADHD affects the application process and be prepared for it. Should I mention that I have ADHD when applying for the GKS scholarship?
Could You please help me with a question?🥺
I would like to apply for Undergraduate this year, but in the gidelines (last year) show: "CGPA indicared on your original transcrip", my grade scale is 1 to 10 and just show per subject and by year(ex. Math 7, science 8) I mean, doesnt show just One CGPA for the 3 last years. Can i just sum every grade and put it without ask My school for an additional doc? It can work at that way? (Cuz My school doesnt support me with that😞)
Btw, thanks for your info it helps us a lot!!
In Italy, embassy track, they are still applying the old rules for the graduation certificate (I’ve also emailed them). Now I wonder if going forward in the process this is going to be an issue since I’ll graduate in June
Hello Sir, I would be glad if you could tell me what you think of my case or even provide me with any advice.
I would be immensely thankful.
So, I already have received a scholarship this year (2023), the stipendium hungaricum, and I have studied a year there, and got excellent grades. However, I don't want to pursue my studies there anymore, and I'm thinking to stop and apply for the GKS scholarship.
The reason is, I wanted to apply for the GKS for the past three years, but I was hesitating and pessimistic, since only three are selected from my country, I even studied Korean on coursera in 2022, because I wanted to use it to apply for the gks, then I couldn't because of diploma related issues.
Now do you think it's going to influence my application negatively, the fact that I want to drop out to apply for the GKS, again, even though I'm having good grades? Many people have told me not to tell about my studies abroad, but I honestly want to be completely honest in my application, and accept whatever decision is made.
Can you tell me your thoughts, comments, or any advice on my case?
Thanking you very much in advance for your valuable help!
Stay in Peace.
Annyeonghaseyo sir. I really enjoy your videos . They are really informative
Can you pls anwer this?
*Do you have to have a prior knowledge about the major that you are choosing in GKS or can you choose a major that's very new to you?*
For an example if I'm doing science subjects (physics, chemistry , biology) in high school rn (grade 12 and 13) , can i choose ICT or software engineering as my major? I've only done ICT from grade 6 to 11. and I have an A in ICT in O/L
I'm very new to GKS and I don't know a lot about it. I really appreciate it if someone can answer.
Yes you can. I'm also doing that. The key is to explain why you're choosing that major in your essays and to demonstrate how passionate you are and that you have a plan and a good motive. Good luck!

Hello sir
I have graduated from university of delhi in may 2022. But I do not have my degree as it will be provided in july or August of 2023( as they always provide official degree an year later).

A provisional degree certificate will not be accepted as a graduation certificate under the GKS-G guidelines for 2023.

I have a question that after passing GKS Korean language is taught for one year in Korea, because study and exam are conducted in Korean language, then why is English important while applying for form, we don't know that you don't know Hindi but why do not use a translator during the interview, because there are many students do not English because their studies and environment are in Hindi but mindset is quite good and they can survive in every situation.....some students study in Hindi till 12th and know a little English but they are the once who get their admission done in BSC which is completely ine English but after working hard the achieve 60-70 % , I think this is a good percentage without knowing the language so I think after learning the Korean language they can easily achieve at least 80% , This question is not only mine but of many students. Please reply me.....
i can't apply this year bc this change i have my ceremony on april so im out until next year i even cry so bad bc many plans for my future go down bc of this change and i can't apply due this is so unnfair and even post the application ''late'' without telling this issue
Uhh...Sorry to hear that
Also what do you think can we do if we are expected to graduate in may/ I graduated in December last year but only getting my certificate in may of this year. I have a meeting with my campus head office to plead to get it earlier.
Is there really no hope for us sir? It’s really so disheartening like we actually spent our time,money and energy on this only to receive this devastating news. The Indian Korean embassy had also not updated the latest information yet.

Sir How to find from previous year ug results announcement that which university selected maximum students from your major? Then I could apply to the perticular university...

I want to choose 2 different majors through embassy track. Master in physical therapy in 2 different universities and Public health policy in rehabilitation science in third university option.
The problem is can I merge SOP and PS in a sense that it works for both or I have to write separately?
You can't do that since you're applying to embassy, you need to find a third university that offers physical therapy or a course so similar to it that whatever application you submit makes sense with that course.
All the people getting certificate on march may n july r not applicable then.....this is not a change to be appreciated.......n ofc not fair too
They phased this out this year!

When i check in Google about degree guideline You can also apply if you expect to graduate by August 31, 2023. In that case, you need first to submit a certificate of expected graduation.
